Do you have a wife/girlfriend? If so buying material and constructing your own is very easy to do... I have an Audi 80 rooflining but iirc its ripped in quite a few places...

Remove your current one very carefull (helps to heat the section glued to doorframe to ease it off) then lay out and get some new material and cut to size following original pattern. Sew any sections needed and then refit.

I'm looking to retrim my CQ seats and in leather/alcantara will cost me less than £100 to do the full set.... bearing in mind a retrim outfit would normally charge £400+

That was my thinking after driving track/rally cars around for 3years as daily drivers

Is the 90 just the cloth headlining with wire retainers in it? if so it will be extremely easy to recreationte....

I'm going to draw up templates for the seats which will be free to anyone who wants to use them to cut there own material and retrim their seats themselves... when you do headlining, lay it out and if possible do a template for it (would have to be big bits of papoer together).

May come in handy if people ever need to make a headlining in future.
